The Advantech EKI-2528NI is an unmanaged industrial Ethernet switch designed for robust, high-performance connectivity in demanding environments. Offering 8x 10/100 Mbps RJ45 ports, it delivers reliable Fast Ethernet connections for edge-to-core networking while supporting Auto MDI/MDI-X and auto-negotiation for simple integration.
This switch is optimised for automation systems with a built-in PROFINET PTCP filter, ensuring reliable traffic prioritisation for real-time industrial protocols. By reducing jitter and packet delays, the EKI-2528NI enhances communication between PLCs, HMIs, and field devices in time-sensitive applications such as motion control, robotics, and smart manufacturing.
With its 12–48 VDC single power input and lockable terminal block, the EKI-2528NI guarantees stable operation and includes safeguards such as reverse polarity and overload current protection. Its efficient power consumption, combined with rugged construction, makes it suitable for long-term deployment in harsh industrial networks.
The device is housed in a durable IP30-rated metal enclosure and supports DIN-rail mounting for straightforward installation. Designed to operate across a wide temperature range of -40°C to +75°C, it is well suited for outdoor, transportation, and energy infrastructure applications.
Certified to CE and FCC Class A standards with EN 61000-4 EMC protections, the EKI-2528NI provides a robust and reliable platform for extending and stabilising industrial Ethernet networks.
